CCT70: Do you know of a source of pics for the SMV, and any other (are there any) Central Coast CA shortlines?
dsfraser said:In Canada, cabooses were assigned to depots and "owned" by the crew. For example, a train travelling west from Edmonton woul change crews in Hinton, a new caboose would be switched and the first caboose would go back to Edmonton with the crew while the train carried on with a new crew, and new van. As far as I know this was the pattern on both the CN and the CP, and probably BC Rail. Regionals and shortlines may well have had their own way o doing things.
